That was fast. It feels like Art Basel Miami Beach just happened, but in fact almost a full year has elapsed. This year’s edition runs Thursday, Dec. 5, through Sunday, Dec. 8, at the Miami Beach Convention Center, with a preview day on Wednesday, Dec. 4. More than 250 galleries from around the world will be showing work. In the slide show at left, a preview of some of the art on offer.

More previews will follow in the coming days. Beginning next Wednesday, we’ll have regular reports from Florida.
